MAPPING US IN A NEW WAY. WORK FOR TWO YEARS.. When we look up and see an aeroplane overhead it may that we are having our photograph taken, though we do not know it, says the Children’s newspaper. But a very great enlargement would be needed to reveal us in our unusual attitude. It is probably that thousands of photographs of England and Wales will be taken by aeroplane in the next two years, all because of the Town and Country Planning Act. Many have already been taken, but mainly for their pictorial aspect, though archaeology has used photography to reveal what has been undiscovered by other Our readers will remember that the site of Woodhenge, the wooden predecessor of Stonehenge, was found from the air, and other Stone Age sites (such as that on Goodwood Hill) were first noticed in a similar way. . ,•

The new proposal is to make an air survey of England in order that the plans required under the Town and Country Planning Act. may be sent to the Ministry of Health within the appointed time. It is impossible for. local authorities to complete their schemes under this Act by relying solely on the Ordnance Survey maps, for in the neighbourhood of towns, new roads are made and new buildings erected so rapidly that the Ordnance Survey maps are out of date almost as soon as they are published. About half of England and Wales, some 16,000,000 acres, is involved in the planhing areas, and it would be quite impossible for the Ordnance Survey to revise their maps’ in time; so it has been suggested that this revision should all be done by photography from the air. If the weather is good it ean all be done in two years. The country will be divided into areas Of 1,000,000 acres. Photographs will be taken and transparencies from the negatives enlarged to the same scale as the Ordnance Survey sheets. These :can then be quickly revised to show what, new building and roads have been added. Many maps have already been made from aerial photographs. An area big-

ger than England and Wales has been mapped in Northern Rhodesia from the air in less than 20 months.

Air surveying has replaced the slower methods of triangle and chain in many parts of the world.

Sir Wilfred Grenfell has described . a remarkable survey carried out over 4000 square miles of the north of Labrador. The coast of Labrador was handed over to Newfoundland in 1927, but there was no reliable chart of its broken sea-line, many a good ship has perished on its rocks.

This survey of Labrador has been carried out by the American Geographical Society, and the cost of the expedition has been paid by Professor Forbes of Harvard. Two aeroplanes and a yacht were lent for the purpose, and the photographs will enable a precise map of the northern area to be made. Newfoundland cannot afford to make an adequate survey of its new territory, and. Sir Wilfred Grenfell has been pointing out what a wonderful tourist country Labrador might be if only it were completely surveyed. It would not cost much for the Government to send a couple of aeroplanes, pilots, and photographers to complete the work which American generosity has begun.

A KING’S LETTER ASTRAY.

OLD NEWS IN A BUTCHER’S SHOP. It was a lucky thing that the professor * did the shopping that day. A housekeeper might never have noticed that the butcher was wrapping the meat in an old document. It was in Lublin, Poland. In England we have a habit of wrapping food in fresh greaseproof paper first and new brown paper afterwards, so that no exciting historical discoveries are made in our butcher’s shops. The professor, who teaches in a Lublin College, discovered that his purchase was wrapped in an autograph letter of Stanislas Poniatowski, the last king of Poland. Then it was found that the butcher had bought a large collection of wastepaper, much of which deserved a place in a museum. Imperial Caesar dead, his letters may Wrap bits of pork to keep the dust away.
